The first three games of the series came down to the final at bat for either team and Sunday's game wouldn't be any different.
Robert Dugger took the hill for his 5th start of the season. The right-hander pitcher was in control throughout most of the game, allowing just one hit through the first four innings.

Still scoreless heading into the 6th inning, Bradenton would finally put a run on the board off an infield grounder that scored a runner from third base to make it 1-0.
Jupiter would have a man on second in their half of the 6th, but were unable to do anything with it.
With four walk-off's under Jupiter's belt going into the bottom of the 9th, a fifth one was brewing with runners on first and second with one out.
In came Brian Miller who beat out an infield grounder for a hit, but an overthrow at first base allowed newly acquired Michael Donadio to score, tying the game at 1-1.
Next batter, a wild pitch to Stone Garrett would send Rodrigo Ayarza home for the game winning run.
Winning 2-1, Jupiter will enter the month of May with 18 wins and a five game lead over second place Bradenton in the South Division.
The Hammerheads are off Monday and back at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium for a three game series with Daytona beginning Tuesday.
First pitch set for 6:30p.m.
